The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 132
Episode 132
“Wow. “It’s as good as a mansion in the capital, isn’t it?”
Josh opened his mouth and admired the gorgeous living room.
After completing the tests of the two ancient masters, Raoul and his party entered the huge mansion behind the training hall.
Although it was a quiet mansion with no one around, it was well-maintained without a trace of dust and was decorated in an ancient style that was different from the present, giving it a much more old-fashioned feel.
“You worked hard, so let’s take a break. “I will contact you through guild communication, so until then, please rest comfortably in your room.”
“Yes Master. Thank you for your hard work.”
“I’ll see you in a moment.”
Josh and Ken left to find a room of appropriate size, and Raoul decided to stay alone and sort out what he had gained from the confrontation.
After passing Zeynak’s test, he received a similar reward as Jeremiah.
[Mansion Warehouse Key B] [Title – One who has been recognized by Zeinak (S)] 50,000 player coins A large amount of experience.
When he entered the dungeon, Raoul’s level was 84, but after killing the spirit monster and passing the two master’s tests, he was now level 88.
‘I never thought it would climb this fast… It’s like breaking an ancient dungeon with this taste.’
Clearly, completing high-rank quests rather than general hunting seemed to help level up.
「Title confirmation.」
[Title – One who has received Zeinak’s recognition]
Grade: S
Effect: Power skill proficiency increase +20% for skills related to fighting superpowers.
‘Good.’
As a result, you can now receive buffs to your spear fighting skills and psychic abilities through the effects of the two titles.
It would have been better if it had been a buff for the main swordsmanship, but that could have been obtained from somewhere else.
And during the test, he also succeeded in stealing [Jainak’s Fighting Art (A+)] using a copycat.
Even though I couldn’t acquire it physically, my proficiency was at the level of beginner level 6, but wouldn’t it be enough to raise my proficiency?
‘Now all that’s left is…’
Raoul looked down at the two items on the table.
One was a rough bead given to me by Zeinak after the battle, and the other was a brilliant red gem.
Raoul first held in his hand the rough bead he had received from Zeynak.
[Jainak’s Spiritual Dan]
Grade: S
Effect: Can strengthen some of the consuming person’s supernatural powers or learn Zeinak’s supernatural powers.
Description: This is a special spiritual altar that Zeinak left behind for his descendants. Depending on the consumer’s choice, special powers can be granted.
‘It’s S-rank!’
What he achieved in his previous life was a B-grade spiritual rank.
And those who visited this dungeon late, no matter how good the evaluation was, all of them were only provided with a C-grade or lower level, so they thought that the first reward would be a B-grade level.
Even as a B-grade hero, he had grown tremendously and based on that, he enjoyed the top rank, but I had no idea how great an S-grade hero would be.
gulp.
After swallowing dry saliva, Raoul gathered his composure and put the spiritual altar into his mouth.
At the same time, a system message appeared before my eyes.
-You have consumed the S-rank spiritual altar [Jainak’s spiritual altar].
-The effect of the spiritual altar spreads throughout the body. Scanning the player’s superpowers.
-The title [One who has been recognized by Zeynak (S)] was discovered. The effects stack, allowing you to choose between two.
-Displays growth effects suited to the player’s aptitude. Please select two.
‘two! ‘What kind of windfall is this?’
A big smile appeared on Raoul’s face.
Superpower-related quests and growth methods were limited compared to other combat occupations.
Opportunities like this don’t come along often, but the reward is double. Raoul couldn’t help but be happy.
And a choice that made Raoul’s eyes widen appeared before his eyes.
1) Learn Zeinak’s superpower [Flame Art (A+)].
2) Learn Jaynak’s superpower [Jaynak’s Body Strengthening Technique (A+)].
3) Growth of telekinesis [power] – Increases the total amount of movement that can be done with telekinesis by 10 times.
4) [Control] growth of telekinesis – Increases the number of objects that can be controlled at once by 10 times.
5) [Range] growth of telekinetic power – Increases the detection range and spiritual power projection range by two times.
6) Growth of Flicker – Upgrade B-grade Flicker to A-grade.
“Aren’t you crazy?”
Raoul muttered to himself without realizing it.
The color drained from his face and he felt dizzy.
‘Would you like me to choose from here?’
I was expecting it because it was an S-rank spiritual dan, but I never imagined it would be like this.
In my previous life, in the B-rank spiritual group, I chose the option to reduce the spiritual power consumption for telekinesis by 50%.
And that alone increased the power of telekinesis several times, but what on earth are those options?
“Huh. Hueup.”
Raoul first calmed his breathing and calmly summarized the options.
First of all, 1) 2) 6) were excluded.
It wasn’t that it wasn’t appealing, but the options related to telekinesis were too deceptive.
‘Jaynak’s body strengthening technique seems to have good compatibility with combat skills, but it can be replaced with telekinetic strengthening techniques.’
The problem was which option to choose among the telekinesis enhancement options.
The three basics of telekinesis.
Power control range or area.
Power meant the total amount of movement possible with telekinesis. As power increases, heavier objects can be moved faster.
Control refers to how many objects can be moved at once and how precisely they can be controlled.
Range literally meant the range and detection distance that could be affected by telekinesis.
As all three are the basics of telekinesis, none of them can be neglected, so Raoul’s worries were bound to deepen.
‘The options have to be moderately good to choose. It’s too difficult!’
After thinking for a while, Raoul finally chose two options with trembling hands.
His choices are [Power] and [Control].
[Power] was chosen without much thought because it is directly related to combat power, and [Control] was chosen because it is the most difficult part to develop.
Moving multiple objects at the same time using telekinesis was not something that could be solved simply with effort.
Most people find it difficult to do different things with their left and right hands at the same time, but how difficult would it be to move tens or hundreds of objects separately?
Even Bae Do-hyeon, who was known as a talented person, could only control about a hundred things in detail in his later years.
‘Manipulating thousands of objects freely?’
I never thought I would achieve one of my previous life goals so easily.
Moreover, as your skill level increases and you reach the level of master, the number will increase further.
[Range] might have been a good choice, but it wasn’t relatively urgent.
Unlike his previous life, Raoul in his current life was a ‘high-level expert’ knight with tremendous combat skills. This meant that there was no reason to keep a distance from the enemies.
And in enclosed spaces such as dungeons or gates, rather than open areas, [range] is less important.
‘Hueup.’
Raoul took a deep breath and chose two options, and the spiritual energy that had spread throughout his body rushed to his head and washed away his soul.
As if his whole body became lighter, as if he had been reborn, a wave of realization came into Raoul’s mind.
Whirling.
Golden particles scattered around Raoul’s body, and his body slightly floated into the air.
The surrounding energy was sucked into Raoul’s body, which was floating in the air like a immortal, and his eyes opened brightly.
Light.
Raoul, who had been taking small steps in the air as if walking on clouds, finally came down to the ground and gathered his energy.
‘This is what it feels like.’
It was a different feeling from when I became a master telekinetic in my previous life.
To be honest, I felt confident that even if I were to fight Bae Do-hyeon from my previous life using telekinetic powers, I would be able to win.
‘No, I will win 100%.’
Due to the [Querkus Meditation (S)] obtained from Mira, he has already secured spiritual power equivalent to the amount of spiritual power he accumulated for 15 years in his previous life.
In addition, the basic aspects have already recovered to the skills of my previous life, and in terms of power and control, I have far surpassed my previous life.
What he lacked was the level, but the power of spiritual power (Soul Auror) that could be used once he reached the level of master could be covered with power armor and quantity.
‘Let’s calm down for now.’
Overconfidence was prohibited.
It would have been a big deal if he had already fallen into complacency when he had not yet assimilated his newly acquired power.
And if I were to think of the real enemies I would have to face in the future, my current skills would not be able to do it.
After composing himself, Raoul turned his gaze back to the table.
A red jewel, not a spiritual altar, was emitting a bewitching light.
The red jewel was a strange object that was created out of thin air and fell into Raoul’s hand the moment he left the training ground. It was a special reward that even Raoul, who had broken through this dungeon in his previous life, could not have imagined.
[Jainak’s Dungeon Core]
Grade: EX
Effect: Grants management authority to the ancient dungeon [Jainak’s Dungeon]. You can create and close dungeon entrances wherever you want.
Restrictions: The central organs of the dungeon cannot be touched.
Note: If the core is destroyed, the dungeon disappears.
‘oh my god!’
This was Raoul’s first thought after obtaining the core.
I had heard in a past life that in a very small number of ancient dungeons, if you met special conditions, you could gain management rights to the dungeons themselves.
In fact, there were rumors that several large guilds had taken over ancient dungeons in that way.
But it has never been actually proven.
Because the information about the ancient dungeon was top secret, even Bae Do-hyeon, who ran the information cafe, could not properly obtain the information.
‘But I never thought I would see it for myself like this.’
The point more than anything else was that the dungeon entrance could be created wherever you wanted.
Raoul and Ken have already collected the core rewards from the two ancient masters, but regular quest rewards will continue to be paid.
Especially for those with superpowers who couldn’t even find a proper teacher, this dungeon was an essential course for growth.
‘Even if it’s a C-level psychic, it will have a tremendous effect on those with superpowers.’
It would be a sweet reward not only for the players, but also for the NPC superpowers in the guild that Raoul is secretly training.
‘Once we finish conquering the dungeon, we will have to move the entrance near Calypse Castle.’
Then, in order to visit Zeynak’s dungeon, many players, psychics, and the knights of the ‘Marquis of Greer’ will also need to obtain permission from Raoul.
I could feel the surge of mana in Raoul’s sense of joy after obtaining an additional good negotiation card.
‘It looks like Ken has awakened too.’
Just as Raoul received a hidden reward from Zeynak, Ken received a reward from Jeremiah, the founder of the family.
It was a small mana pill and a spear point. The mana pill was an item to be consumed like a spirit tablet, and the spear tip was an item that contained the vision of spear skills that the Marquis Greer so desired.
Even if he was awakened, he was still only at the expert intermediate level, but he would probably increase his level at a rapid pace.
* * *
After a while.
The three people who gathered in the living room began exploring the mansion in earnest.
This is because I had to check the [Mansion Warehouse Key A] and [Mansion Warehouse Key B] received from Zeinak and Jeremiah.
There was nothing special about the main building of the mansion. There were many items that could be valuable, such as ancient ornaments and relics.
-The objects in the main building of the mansion are things realized in fantasy. You cannot take it out of the mansion.
Even if it wasn’t an explanation of the system message, as soon as I left the mansion door, the small watch I was holding disappeared like smoke.
“Tsk. I was planning to take one as a souvenir. “There is no romance in the dungeon.”
Josh looked down sadly at his empty palm, as if he was disappointed.
Raoul patted Josh on the back and laughed.
The warehouse was hidden in the basement of an annex building, not the main building.
“Wow, this is real, right?”
Inside Warehouse A, various weapons, dozens of skill books containing B-grade combat techniques, boxes containing ancient gold coins, and rare weapon materials were stored.
And in warehouse B, various armor fighting techniques, superpower skill books, gold coin boxes, etc. were piled up.
Among them was the [Zenak’s Fighting Art (A+)] skill book, which made Raoul happy.
‘It would be perfect to give this to Dylan.’
After filling their inventory with mainly small and expensive items, the last destination they headed to was the back of the mansion.
Compared to the well-maintained garden and training ground in front of the mansion, the back was completely unkempt, overgrown with weeds and bushes and giving a desolate feel.
After wading through the bushes and passing through the forest, the place that appeared was a ‘grave’.
“…!”
Piles of bones of people who appeared to have gone missing after visiting the dungeon were piled up like a mountain on one side, and on the other side, their belongings were like a mountain of miscellaneous items.
“Ugh.”
The smell of rotting corpses and the blood leach that flowed out were so unpleasant that Josh felt nauseous.
“Master, is there something you are looking for here? Even if this Josh’s nose rots, I will definitely come find it!”
Josh, a man of will, was crying out for loyalty even in this situation, and Raoul said to Ken:
“Is there something you need to find?”
“Yes Master.”
Ken’s voice as he answered sounded somewhat sad.
